Good News

That’s awesome! Small world haha! Good News was definitely a more polished iteration of Designer News

Oh! right, that's where I know him from. LayerVault was a company at the incubator I used to work for. I've met him a few times, embarrassing that I forgot 😅. Designer News was also a really cool place that I was bummed to see go. Definitely toxic in some ways but had cool ideas

I took it down for the time being because Sentry kept spitting out errors at me, i might bring it back up at some point in the future when i have a little more free time

No worries, super cool to hear some of the backstory behind it. Wonder what Allan G is up to now

It really was great, i’d love to capture its vibe in some way with the Folks site that i’m building. As to Svpply i’m not entirely sure, i know that back around 2012 he had a site called Designer News at LayerVault, and now he’s at Apple.

Same.. can't reach. Please let me know when you put it up again, really want to take a peek at it :)

I hadn’t heard of this 👀. Is your exercise version alive anywhere to poke around?

A while back when Allan G's Good News shutdown, i rebuilt it as an exercise, just managed to get it running again 😄

Here’s a speed up fly through:

Sure, https://goodnews.rokita.me - the password is “tropical”

damn, this is cool. I wish I'd seen it when it was live. Is Allan one of the people behind Svpply from back in the day?
